Create series of dates from user input

**idorward** · 08-28-2012, 04:01 AM

Hi All,

I'm new here, so thanks in advance for the help. Going to try to keep it simple as am sure it is a very simple answer!

I have two sheets one called "Dates and Codes" the other "Ordering"
In the Dates and Codes Sheet I want the user to input a start date (H4) in one cell and an end date in another(H6); the date format being UK style eg 24/09/2012
In the Ordering sheet based on this input I want all weekdays between these two inputted dates generated and displayed on one row (to become a title heading) beginning in C4 (then D4, E4,etc to the end date)
The created dates in the Ordering Sheet need to include those dates input in the Dates and Codes sheet, i.e it is a fully inclusive series.

Would love some help as I'm going crazy trying to create this.

Thanks again,

Ian

Hi try this macro
it starts typing the dates from cell C4 in the "Ordering" sheet - change the DestCell if you want to start in a different cell
it assumes Mon-Fri as your working week, and doesn't pick up public holidays

put anywhere and dragged across this formula will create a consecutive inclusive list where Sheet1!$B$2 is end date Sheet1!$A$2 is start date
=IF(COLUMN(A1)-1>Sheet1!$B$2-Sheet1!$A$2,"",Sheet1!$A$2+COLUMN(A1)-1)
